Event IDs 6398, 7076 and 6102

Question

I have just installed MOSS 2007 and SQL Server 2005 to a new Windows Server 2003 R2 w/SP2 machine. After configuring MOSS and installing infrastructureupdateforwindowssharepointservices3.0-kb951695 on a x86 machine, I restored my farm backup that I have made on my previous server. The restore operation completed successfully and my farm is up and running again, but I keep seeing entries in the Application event log with event IDs 7076, 6398 and 6102.

Does anybody have any idea why I would get these events?

Answer 1

It has almost been a week and no-one has replied yet. Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening?

Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

Answer 2

The 6102 normally happens when the load balencer service is using a bad account.  Might want to check that one.  Go to Central Administration > Operations > Service Accounts.  Then specify an account you know is good. 

The other two errors I'm not sure about.  In general though, when I bring up a new farm I don't do a farm restore.  I only move over the contentdbs.  This way you are creating a clean configdb and configuring everything from scratch.  I've seen issues when you try to do a backup on one farm and restore it to another.

You could experience the issue fixed by this hotfix.  Sounds similar but not exact:

You are posting to an abandoned forum. (KN was in the BETA of MOSS 2007 and then dropped)


It is also only in the msdn set of SharePoint forums and not in the Technet set.


Post to a more suitable forum and you'll get a reply.

Answer 4

It seems like these events have been resolved after stopping the load balancer service has been stopped. Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely post in Technet next time.
